Yeah, that's slightly more to-the-point!
It does seem somewhat contradictory to refuse to let the built-in server
serve static media in general whilst hacking it so that it does output
the admin media. Presumably this is so that the admin CSS/Javascript is
available, and so the admin works properly - but what happens when the
same features are used in application views? The test server is no
longer particularly useful to test applications with.
